Training method could be different.
Horse language is universal.

Colt Starting
I put 45+ hours into your horse in approx. 30 days with a 42 point checklist. At the end of the 30 day session your colt will be able to ground tie, trailer load, stand for farrier, bathing, grooming & tack process, have groper ground manners and respect for personal space. Horse will have been taught to perform unmounted ground tasks, perform under saddle tasks such as standing for mounting and dismounting from both sides, carrying rider and gear, riding with others or out alone, stop, backing, left, right, walk, trot, lope and canter, emergency brake on both sides from walk, trot, and canter. Leg yield, open and close gates from either side, cross bridges, cross water, lateral flexion and plow rein. (All of course dependent on the learning process and ability of each individual horse). *Please remember for, safety’s sake, a colt is Green Broke” until it has had a few years of experience under his/her saddle to be titled “Finished” or “Broke”.
*60 & 90 Day programs educate horses on more advanced maneuvers for ultimate performance whether out on the trail, in the show ring, competing or working on the ranch, it doesn’t matter if you ride English or Western.
Behavior Problems
1 & 2 Day Course
Learn how to recognize and correct behavior problems and respect issues (or lack thereof) and deal with these issues before they grow into larger problems that are too difficult to deal with on your own. If your horse is pretty good but you have problems with holding his/her feet for the farrier, standing tied, standing still (anywhere), horse is insecure and feel the need for his/her buddy or the herd, stand still for mounting, intrusion of personal space, trailer loading, bathing, grooming, spooking, rearing, bucking, bolting, leading and any other problem(s) that you might be encountering with your horse, this course is for you!
*For those horses and riders that have ground problems and problems under the saddle I recommend that you take the “Horsemanship I” course.
Re-Starts
30 Days: Resetting Foundation & Tuneups
Re-Starts will be approxiately 30 days (45 hrs) per session, during this time I will be working with your horse and will be erasing all the dangerous and undesirable behaviors and habits that your horse may be exhibiting, then I will place a proper foundation on him/her so as to allow them to be able to travel balanced and in-tune with the rider.
I usually find that these problems are usually from holes being left in the original education of the horse but also recognize that sometimes conformation or body faults due to injury or body structure can also lead to undesirable behaviors so a full consultation is usually done either on first day of training or prior to drop–off for the session. This session also includes a mandatory 2-hour session with horse and owner before the horse leaves my facility.
*Session also includes a 15% discount on all training equipment.
